How to disavow links in Google Search Console?
To disavow links in Google Search Console, you can use the following steps:
Go to the “Links” report in Google Search Console: This report provides information about the external links pointing to your website.
- Identify the links you want to disavow: Look for links from spammy or low-quality websites, or any links that may be causing issues with your site’s performance in search results. Make a list of the URLs of these links.
- Create a text file with the list of links: In the text file, list the URLs of the links you want to disavow, one per line. You can also use the “domain:” operator to disavow all links from a specific domain.
- Submit the text file to Google: In Google Search Console, go to the “Links” report and click the “Disavow links” button. Follow the instructions to upload the text file with the list of links you want to disavow.
By disavowing links in Google Search Console, you are telling Google not to take these links into account when evaluating the relevance and value of your website. This can be useful if you have a lot of spammy or low-quality links pointing to your site, as it can help improve the performance of your website in search results. However, it is important to use the disavow tool carefully, as it can have a significant impact on your site’s performance in search results. Only disavow links that you are sure are harmful to your site.
